BIRDS. NEST SOUP.
Chinese DeIicacy Which, According to
 Darwin, Consists of Dried Saliva.


 Darwin, Consists of Dried Saliva.
 An American swift--ahead, as usual, of the effete British representatives of the family-construct it's nest of small twigs, glued together by brownish mucilage, almost as copious as that of the edible species, but otquite so clear or pure or jelly-like. This Yankee birds nest swells and softens in warm water exactly like the genuine article, but it has not SO far been employed for cookery by the heather Chinee of Chi cago and San Francisco. In time, no doubt, it will be duly exploited by some intelligent American Francatelli, and birds nest soup will delight the palate of diners at Delmonico's as it already delights the almond-eyed gourmets of Pekin and Yokohama. The true edi- ble birds nest swiftlet is a native of Ceylon and of the Malay region, and it builds in caves where materials for ar chiteeture are necessarily scanty or on sea cliffs of inaccessible height. More than most other swifts this tropical species is a confirmed highfyer, hawk ing for it's food around the summits of the mountains and much indisposed to settle on the ground upon any pretext. Hence it has learned to carry to the furtherest possible limit the family habit of making nest quite literally "all out of its own head" without the slightest extraneous aid of any sort The best and cleanest nests, which fetch the highest price, are com posed entirely of pure mucous from the saliyary glands. The material in it's hardened state is brittle, fibrous, white and transparent, every like pure gum arabic, or even glass;" and the inner lining consists of nothing but small soft feathers Inferior nests, which command a smaller price in the Chinese market, are composed in part of dry grasses, hair and down, welded together by the fibrous gummy -secre- tion. In short, as MT. Darwin bluntly puts it: ''The Chinese make soup of dried saliva" This sounds horrid enough, to be sure; but when we our selves give up coloring jellies with de- funct cochineal insects, it will be time for us to cast the first stone at the Oriental cuisine. In shape the nests are much like hanging pouches glued on to the wall of the cave by their own mucous, and containing each two eggs. All the swifts, indeed, are very small layers, as is invariably the case with the most active animals; the laziest livers have (other things eauaD the largest families. The ''taken is in October, and most of the nests go to China, where the soup ranks as high luxury. l tasted some in Paris few years since, and do not find it by any means unpalatable; but how much of the effect was due to the nests them selves, and how much to the skillful manipulation of the Parisian chef, I should be sorry to vouch for on such slight acquaintance.-C Cor7ahW Maga- zine.

From the Children.s rrlend.

DEAR LITTLE CHILDREN w Then you kneel at your mothers knee, or your acomfortable bed at night, will you not remember and pity the children who have drunken mothers and fathers? It is said that ten thousand children in Chicago cannot bear to hear their fathers footsteps when they return home at night. Will you pray earnelestly that these poor hungry, starving little ones, pinched with cold, may be cared for? And that their parents, made crazy by strong drink, may be rescued?
 In the Sing Sing prison there is now mother who killed her two babies, by lying upon them when she was drunk. Will you also pray for dear little girl brought to an or plan aslum by her father to be car ed for while her mother remains in the penitentiary, until she serves out her time for crime committed when she was intoxicated?
 Please pray for deformed girl in Sabbath school. She has fath CT of whom she is proud when sob CT, but when overcome by strong drink, he is seen staggering in the street, and cursing like wild ami nal. Oh pray for him and her, and the little children who have drunken parents.
 Dear children, it has been said that the child's hand is on the latch which will open the door of the mil ennium, which means heaven upon earth; for then no wickedness shall dwell here; nothing to tempt or des troy men or women. Then saloons, those gates of death and sorrow, shall all be closed. And for thls joyful time 1 ask you to pray and work in the temperance cause, for you remember the Bible tells us, "A lit. tie child shall lead them"
 Your faithful friend,

ATgTlill8 Surgical Operation
4 FATAL MISTAKE.
v Tnr ClepeZand lOhiol Press,

~ TnE CleceIand (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 1883, pub lished an account of q fatal surgical operation which caused great commotion among med ical men tA:punhout the whole country, D.. Igaycr, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouneing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs. King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom- ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de- engagement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable dis trcss in the stomach, q feeling that has been described as a faint Fall gone" sensation, sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing q disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold precipitation. There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forcbodings. Finally the patient was unable to re- tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, consultation was held, when 1t was decided that the patient had a cancer in tie stomach, and in order tosave the patients life an operation was justii- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1885, tile opera tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Terrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwcil of the Police Board. The operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been doHe an cxamin- ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be fouad. The pa tient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered tl.at t}.ey Lad made a terrible aistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the womd that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife d;ed from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was,, she would have been liv- ing to-day. SIAElR ATTRACT OF RooTs, or SxlaaL's CURATIVE STRUT, a remedy made ex- pressly for Dysrc 'sia or lndi- gestion, has restortdmany such cases to perfect heal ii after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases Is too voiunEous to be published here; but those who read the p.3.isAed evidence in favor of tI.is dYspeptic remedy do not question it's convincing nature, and the article has an extensive sale.
